About the Program

The Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering offers two programs of undergraduate study, one leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and the other leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Both programs provide a balanced, practical and theoretical approach to the study of software and hardware that includes the latest advances in these two areas.
Computer Science concentrates on issues in computer applications and software development whereas computer engineering focuses upon problems that arise from hardware and hardware development. Students are encouraged to develop hybrid programs of study that combine computer science/computer engineering with other disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, economics, geography, management science, mathematics, physics, visual arts and other related disciplines.
The game development track is designed to prepare UMBC students for technical positions in one of the most in demand industries.
